Scar / Stretch Mark

Pore Program

Pores are a symptom. The plan starts from the cause

An enlarged pore is not one condition. It can be a scar, a loss of elasticity, or an oil-flow problem — and the three do not respond to the same treatment. Symphony sorts the type first, then combines devices and boosters around it.

Why pores widen

A pore is the small opening through which sebum produced by the sebaceous gland reaches the skin surface. Its size is not fixed. Hormonal change, ageing and even weather can enlarge it, and once it is enlarged, debris and bacteria enter more easily, which can lead to further skin problems.

This is why treating the surface alone tends to disappoint. If the opening is wide because the surrounding collagen has weakened, resurfacing does not address it. If it is wide because a scar has formed at the opening, controlling oil does not address it either.

Three patterns we sort between

Which of these dominates is what decides the combination.

Scar type

The opening has been reshaped by past inflammation. The problem is structural rather than functional.

Elasticity-loss type

Elastic fibres and collagen around the opening have deformed with ageing, so the pore no longer holds its shape.

Excess sebum type

Sebum output is high, keeping the opening stretched and making it more visible.

What makes it worse

Excess sebum production

Where sebum output is genetically high, pores are more likely to widen.

Ageing and loss of elasticity

As elastic fibres and collagen deform with age, the opening widens.

UV exposure

Ultraviolet exposure stresses the skin, and the openings widen as a result.

Over-exfoliation

Removing dead skin too aggressively thins the skin layer, which works against the pore rather than for it.

Devices, chosen by pore type

Symphony runs these in combination rather than choosing one. Which ones apply to you is decided at consultation.

MIRAJET

Delivers a solution into the dermis quickly and without a needle or thermal injury, with a collagen-regenerating effect from the micro-channels themselves.

Ultherapy

High-intensity focused ultrasound coagulates and contracts tissue, supporting lift.

Thermage

Radiofrequency cools the epidermis while generating heat in the dermis, supporting tightening, fine lines and collagen renewal.

Toning

Works on the skin to support the formation of new collagen.

Intracel

Delivers momentary radiofrequency into the dermal layer, supporting new collagen formation.

Fraxel

A resurfacing laser that leaves normal skin intact between treated zones. Compared with earlier laser methods, discomfort and side effects are lower, and washing and make-up remain possible during the treatment course.

Combining two or more methods

Applying more than one method in a planned sequence shortens the overall course and raises satisfaction with the result.

01SubcisionA needle is used to release the tangled fibrous tissue underneath a depressed scar, so the fibrosed skin can heal.
02Solution deliveryA solution is delivered precisely into the pore or scar to increase collagen and elastin synthesis and rebuild the area.
03Pore and scar laserDermal regeneration is prompted without damaging the epidermis, so the pore contracts and the scar fills in.

How the booster is delivered

The same solution behaves differently depending on how it enters the skin. The method is chosen for the solution and the skin, not by habit.

MIRAJET

Needle-free micro-jet delivery. No needle pain and no thermal injury, no separate recovery time and no raised bumps afterwards. Delivers the required amount evenly to the exact position, without losing the solution.

I-JECT painless injection

Digital automatic delivery holds a constant speed, reducing discomfort. Fine speed control distributes the solution evenly, which suits repeated-injection treatments such as boosters and collagen.

Injector

Nine 34G ultra-fine sterile needles deliver at a uniform depth across a wide area — more even than hand injection, and about half the discomfort. Depth is selected for skin thickness. The uniform bumps that form are absorbed within about a day.

Hand injection

The most established method, and the one most dependent on the operator. Symphony's medical team draws on over 20 years of clinical experience to keep discomfort and bruising to a minimum.

Boosters used for pores and sebum

The lineup is broad on purpose — the point is matching, not variety.

RITUO

Allogeneic dermal material containing collagen and elastin, used to address signs of ageing such as loss of firmness and lines, and to improve hydration.

Juvelook / Juvelook Volume

A collagen booster combining high-molecular PLA with hyaluronic acid, a component present in human skin tissue.

Collaum 240

PLLA microparticles used to prompt the skin's own collagen, addressing lines, firmness and volume together.

Retigen

Type 1 collagen at 99.9% purity, supplied directly into the dermal layer to support firm, healthy-looking skin.

Radius

Mineral components essential to the body, used to improve the ECM that sits at the centre of skin ageing.

Rejuran Healer

A healing injection that promotes collagen regeneration in skin damaged by ageing and repeated irritation.

Exosome

Stem cell culture medium components used to support cell vitality, regeneration and barrier recovery.

Jalupro

Highly concentrated pure amino acids combined with hyaluronic acid, supplying nutrients directly to skin cells.

Medical skincare after the session

Aftercare is planned to reduce side effects such as pigmentation and to help damaged tissue settle.

LDM

Regenerative care addressing firmness, redness and hydration.

O2 oxygen therapy

Supports collagen renewal, pigmentation, acne bacteria control and pore contraction.

Aqua peel

Dissolves and removes debris from deep in the pore, then replaces moisture and nutrients — used for texture, dullness and sebum.

T-liposome Gold PTT

Used for pore contraction, acne and skin regeneration.

Blackhead care

Softens the thickened keratin layer caused by excess sebum and clears oxidised blackheads, so the opening is not stretched further.

Soft PA·PB peel

Breaks bonds between surface cells for clearer, smoother skin and blackhead removal, while supporting regeneration of collagen and elastic fibres in the dermis.

Where Symphony works differently

Type sorted before devices are chosen

A skin analysis system reads face, neck and lines together, and the doctor reviews it with you before anything is selected.

The doctor designs and performs

The combination is planned by the doctor who then carries it out — no handover in between.

The same doctor after you fly home

Pore work is usually a course, not a single visit. Follow-up after you return is handled by the doctor who treated you.

Delivery method chosen per solution

MIRAJET, I-JECT, injector or hand injection — matched to the solution and your skin rather than run as a fixed protocol.

Questions we are asked most

Can pores be made permanently smaller?

Pore size responds to what is causing it to be wide — scarring, loss of elasticity or sebum flow — and those causes continue to change with age and environment. The programme aims to improve the appearance and to keep the causes managed, not to close pores permanently.

Which combination will I need?

That depends on which of the three patterns dominates in your skin. It is decided with your doctor after the skin is assessed, and adjusted as the course progresses.

How many visits does it take?

Pore work is normally a course rather than a single session. Your doctor proposes a realistic sequence against the time you have in Korea.

Will there be marks after the injections?

It depends on the delivery method. MIRAJET does not leave raised bumps; with the injector, the uniform bumps that form are usually absorbed within about a day.

Can it be combined with lifting treatments?

Yes — where the pore pattern is elasticity-related, lifting devices are often part of the same plan rather than a separate one.

Can I wear make-up afterwards?

It depends on which method was used on the day. Your doctor tells you what is appropriate before you leave, along with the skincare to use.

※ Pore appearance depends on skin type, age, sebum activity and environment, and responses differ between individuals. This programme aims at improvement and management rather than permanent change, and no outcome is guaranteed. The combination, the number of sessions and the aftercare are confirmed by your physician at consultation.

What we look at before anything is switched on

Skin analysis first

Skin type, thickness and condition are assessed before settings are chosen, so energy levels and tips match the skin in front of us rather than a default protocol.

Planned and performed by a physician

The doctor who consults you draws up the plan and carries it out. Nothing is delegated after the consultation.

Layered, not single-device

Treatments are combined by depth and symptom, with intervals planned around your recovery.

Care that continues

Conditioning before, calming immediately after, and home-care guidance through recovery — then the next session is adjusted to how your skin responded.
